Leclerc saw a shift in his performance on the other side of the garage when they changed the car’s setup.

The Alternative Tire Allocation format requires drivers to compete on hard compounds in Q1, medium in Q2 and soft in Q3, and the rookie said he struggled on the medium compound throughout the weekend. Knowing a top 10 wasn’t possible, he tried to snag a few more positions on his final lap.
